The Heart Is A Stranger

The heart is a stranger

You think you understand

But it tricks you and laughs

It plays with your mind

And lies and lies and lies

 

The heart is a stranger

Coming at you from the darkness

It wears a long coat and a hat

To hide its twofaced eyes

And lies and lies and lies

Author's Note

I don't write poems a lot, but I thought I'd try to do it a little more often.

Reviews

[Vidya Bacchus]

you should write more poetry because this one was very good i really enjoyed it.

[Alene Parr]

Well expect more because I think I've caught some kind of poetry bug or something. Thanks for reading!

[Vidya Bacchus]

you are welcome

[Dr. Wood ?]

maybe you should write more poetry...but be warned, it gets addictive...This one is very clever, the heart is indeed a stranger at times and I loved the reference to the long coat and hat as if it hangs around on street corners selling your secrets

[Alene Parr]

Addictive, yes. I started and I can't stop.

And I really like the idea of the street corner. That's exactly what it's like! Thanks for reading!

well you did a great job on this one and the point of the poem was right on
I enjoyed the read

[Alene Parr]

Thanks for reading, and I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Letting people read my poems makes me a lot more nervous than letting people read my stories does.
